@SharpFootball Les Snead gets nowhere near enough credit.
Yes, the Rams gamble & potentially throw their future into uncertainty. But look at that Rams defense and what he's put together on such a small combined salary.
I hope Leao gets his move, is played in his ACTUAL position and shows his quality.
For any Milan fan criticising his performances this season....it's essentially asking Erling Haaland to play on the wing and dribble past people.
That is what Allegri did to Leao as a striker.
@rajathkumar Exactly. The criticism & jeers from the fans in San Siro is usually down to his ball retention being dreadful, losing possession constantly and just lacking that football intelligence.
As you say, a counter attacking club in England may suit for his physical qualities.
Predicting the Serie A managerial roundabout for the start of season 2027-28
Sarri > Roma
Gasperini > Milan
Gattuso > Fiorentina
Conte > Juventus
Allegri > Lazio
Spalletti > Napoli
@Kaus_Pandey17 Hopefully Fabregas and to some extent Fabio Grosso & De Rossi are finally changing that mindset. It's insane how Italian football culture has completely ignored the intensity & pressing development of football within the last decade
Would absolutely LOVE to see Iraola at Milan.
@KilpinChronicle Completely agree. I've seen so many Milan fans dismiss him either due to ignorance or the fact 'he's only managed Bournemouth'...but his pressing, attacking style of play and ability to develop players should be exactly what we're looking for.
Fabregas should be the prototype.
@Bonetti Atalanta have played nothing but wing backs for over a decade, and Sarri probably lines up birthday candles in a 4-3-3
But interesting to see what changes here
@_lu257@MilanPosts I share the same view on any striker we have, it's why every single summer we're linked with number 9s and it never solves the problem.
We have zero creativity in the team, and ironically, the only individual threat we ever have is from Leao on the left.
@MilanPosts@86_longo It doesn't matter who the striker is, we have the same conversation & striker rumours every summer.
We're not a club who ever plays with any fluidity, which means strikers don't score. The cycle is endless.
@adamsummerton Atalanta have been the most consistent wing-back team I can remember, not a formation I can remember Sarri ever playing.
Something will have to give.
@JackPittBrooke I'm a Milan fan and have only appreciated in these last 5 months just how bad Füllkrug is
I was going to say he's the least talented player to ever wear our shirt, but Emerson Royal has set that bar extremely high.
@FootballCliches@CDEccleshare@D_C_W Saw this on TikTok the other day....a game where medication is turned into a footballer's name, and a description of their career.
My favourites...
Ty Lenol - a winger for Palace on loan at Sheffield United
Kolo Noscopi - West Ham centre back, bought from Udinese for £15m
@MilanPosts Everyone hates on Leao. He's a left winger playing out of position with ZERO service...yes his attitude isn't great, but we can't afford to replace him with someone as potentially dynamic.
RLC, Nkunku, Estupinan, Fofana all need to go well before Leao does.
